Can jumpstart work on a gig ethernet network? (SUMMARY)

[Jeff Blosser]

In summary, this ended up being a problem on the gig switch. The customer had some filtering turned on for security reasons. After all of the filters were turned off we had no problems booting off the ge interface. There was a good idea that was submitted below that might of helped, but we did not have to load these packages. We are running solaris 8 0202.
